RGB calibration question

[Moogle Stiltzkin]

I calibrated my Dell 2405 FPW lcd monitor RGB to meet the

color temperature of 6500k, gamma 2.2 and luminance 220


This is my result




OSD settings to achieve the targets above are the following.


red 17

green 22

blue 50

Brightness 90



Is it correct that blue should be left as the default 50 out of 100 ? and i only adjust red and green only ?

Im new at calibrating so my concern is why the blue in the screenshot is higher then the rest, is this acceptable ? also with the delta score is it alright ? Contrast seems to be very very low. This monitor should be capable of 1000 contrast.

Once you have the screen levels set, the Red, Green, and Blue guns need to be balanced so neutral colors do not show a color cast. Do as many of these adjustments by using your monitor's display controls as possible (don't worry, your calibration software will give details on how to do this). Adobe Gamma or any of the hardware calibration packages can do everything by adjusting your video card alone, but the result is a reduced color gamut for your display. This is not good, as you will clip the purest, most saturated colors.

When the calibrator reads actual rgb, i adjust the osd rgb to meet the target rgb in the calibrator software. Does the rgb in osd for monitor need to be even as well ? or does it not matter as long as the calibration rgb is met?

Any help ?

You adjust what is necessary to achieve the desired results. If that means adjusting the values to what you got then that is what you need to do. There is no generic target for the RGB values to hit. Each monitor is different and monitors of the same type will vary between themselves a bit due to manufacturing variations. I would stop worrying and accept the calibration results.

Im new at calibrating so my concern

Your calibration results look OK, especially for an older monitor.
CR is OK, but it's not very important.
Black level looks high.
Make sure you use Eye1 Display2 colorimeter, not Spyders for your measurements.
As mentioned above, details depend on the monitor, the colorimeter used and the sofware. Calibration result is a balance of those three. Don't worry, just follow the instructions.

Thx for the input guys,

Yeah the Dell 2405 FPW contrast can't be changed. Anyway i will be getting a new HP LP2475W monitor soon so i will try calibrate that and post again the results. Probably can figure whether i am doing it good on a more capable monitor

Thx again.
